The excerpt above is from the book "The Art of Game Design" by Jesse Schell.
I want to be a game designer. I want to design games. Games are commonly misunderstood as just time wasting toys or something lesser than books or movies. This is very debatable but I would like to believe the opposite. Games are extremely powerful forms of media. Imagine giving a powerful message among a crowd of uninformed masses. I believe that this has been done by music decades ago. If music, which is a lot lesser in complexity than a game, can do it, then why can't games do it? Because games at this period lack substance. That's why.

Let me introduce myself.
